Reality sometimes catches fiction. Angelina Jolie trusts: Seams It is, for her, “a very personal movie.” “It seemed so intimate that in my opinion, it’s probably the only movie that doesn’t look like a movie,” he said Variety. The American star is the poster head of the next film by the French director Alice Winocour (Paris review), in the world of Haute-Couture and presented at the Toronto Film Festival.
The feature film follows Maxine Walker, director of low -budget films, who discovers that she suffers from aggressive breast cancer while she is responsible for making a film for a parade of the Paris Fashion Week.
“I took Angelina in the stage.
The intrigue that echoes the course of the 50 -year -old Oscar winning actress. In 2013, Angelina Jolie revealed that she had undergone a double preventive mastectomy, carrying the BRCA1 gene that considerably increases the risks of developing breasts or ovaries.
Six years earlier, his mother Marcheline Bertrand died of breast cancer and ovaries. A defeat to which the actress returned, very moved, during the Toronto Festival on Sunday, September 7: “One of the things I remember when my mother told me that she had cancer (…) is that she told me: ‘Everything that is asked for cancer. If you know someone who crosses a test, you also ask him questions about the rest of his life.
Linguistic challenge
A story about female resilience: “These are the bodies and life of women and the effect we have with each other,” summarizes Angelina Jolie – Seams It brings together a Franco-International casting with Louis Garrel, she Rumpf in the role of Angèle, a French makeup artist who aspires to become a writer, and the model South-Soudani Anyier Anei who made her debut as an actor in the role of Ada.
“For me, it is as if these three women were only a woman at different ages, one of the twenties, the other in the thirties and Angelina in their forty years,” the director analyzes.
The shooting, led both in French and English, represented a linguistic challenge for Angelina Jolie. “I was also nervous for speaking French,” he admits. Although her mother was of French origin, the actress had to learn the language before playing in the movie.
In Chanel’s workshops, for the first time
For the first time in its history, Chanel authorized the filming of a fictitious film in his Parisian workshops and exhibition hall. “In most fashion films, it is generally from the point of view of an artistic director, who are mainly men. I found it very interesting to have the female point of view and that of the heroes of the working class,” said Alice Winocour.
The film, distributed by Pathé in France, will be released in theaters on October 15, 2025, after its presentation, in preview, at the Toronto International Film Festival.
